"A larSe efoWu Sabnefeu at the
school-room to witness the exhibition
Of the students Of the preparatory
department, Tuesday evening. The
programme was excellently rendered,
and the audience gave frequent evil
dences of its approval by continued
applause. We wish we had the time
to give the readers the entire pro-
gramme, but as opportunity will not
permit us, We only give sketch Of
the proceedings of the afternoon.
The defamation of Mr.. G.. A. P.
Wilkerson was particularly noticeable.
The literary exercises, Wednesday
evening, June LIST, was an interesting
affair, and those of us who were for
tunate enough to be present will not
soon forget it. The programme was
not very lengthy, consequently we
will give full description of the even
ing's entertainment The declama-
ton, ga Common School Education, :"
by Master English Gee was excellent.
The recitation, ''Liking and Dislik-
ing" by Miss Martha Bryant also was
good. Defamation, Influence of
Devotion" by Mr.. j. A. Mcleod,
was simply grand the gentleman
spoke wildly and to the point.
The literary address by Prof. G. H.
Williams was excellent. We need
not add very much to this address,
for the very name of. the Professor
tells us that out of his mouth came
forth rich words to the society and
visitors. He dwelt at length upon
the Historical and Literary" features
Of our race in an oratorical manner.
The singing, which is always good,
was particularly fine throughout the
evening. The closing piece was a
dialogue by Miss Winnie Smith and
others. The s'Tramps' was well ex-
ccuted, while Bridget, Miss Lizzie
McNeill) acted her part well-by
showing the tramps the way into the
street.
Among the visitors to the Com
mencement exercises we mention the
following: Mr.. A. A. Smith, of
Goldsboro, N G., graduate of the
class of $50; Miss R. j. Caps, of
Dudley, N. c.; Mr. Sam Hill, editor
Cape Fear .Adrocate a; Mrs. Z. j. Saw
yer, of Bennettsville, S. c.; and Miss
Hattie L. Marshall, of Charleston.
Miss Marshall is teacher in the
graded school at Bennettsville.
Miss Maggie Hood and Master
Augustus Hill have returned from
Livingstone College, to spend their
summer vacation at home with parents
and friends. Quite a pleasant little
social was given at the residence of
Bishop J. w. Hood, ID, on Thurs
day evening of the I'd, which was en-
joyed by all present. The social was
given complimentary to Miss G. G.
Hood. On Friday Miss Hood parted
with relatives and friends to join the
gay society of Boston, Mass. We
will miss her in our Sunday-school
from our social circles, and other
places of amusement, but we gave
her the friendly shake, hoping that
she will gain friends wherever she
goes, and other blessings be best owed
upon her.
The little Juvenile class of Evans
Chapel Sunday-school meets every
Thursday evening at 4 o'clock. We
have enrolled ia, or more, and the
exercises are interesting at all times.
Mary Il. Webb is the organist, a lit
tie Miss of - or 10 summers. The
exercises are conducted by the pastor,
Rev. j. NJ. HILL
MARY MCLEAN.

BOSTON, MASS, Sept. Pitts a rare
man that can climb eight stories on q
lightning rod. Captain Joseph T. Walsh
did it very early this morning, and the
funny thing about it is that he doesn't
know why. He brought his schooner
well laden with fish into East Boston yes
terday, and, being jovisl SOUL came
over TO the City last night to celebrate his
good LUCK. He saws he got back to the
wharf an hour before midnight 1t was
1880 when 8 pssser-by saw a man
hanging to the lightning-rod of the
Boston Sugar Rvtiueries building
on Lewis street. He was then
seven stories up, and his motto was still
Excelsior" The eighth story, how
evsr, satisfied him and he climbed in the
window. The witness of the acrobatic
feat called q patrolmsn and party OF
searchers were soon climbing the stairs.
In the seventh story they found their man,
snd he was big one, TOO. But he offered
no resiste nee and made no attempt to es-
cape. AS to why he was there he couldn't
give the slightest reason. The officers
let him go, and now he is wondering what
on earth led him 70 climb eight stories Of
llghtnipg-rod and then come down stairs.

We say, most emphatically. No, to every
one Of these questions. and call upon all OF
the friends Of the right to aid us In correcting
these evils. and IL closing up the bar-rooms by
n county vote is the only way to put down
monop0les, and the evil with them, let's join
and put them down. We are tired Of n few
men holding the whip over the people OF our
county. If Newberry can't get along without
the revenue from the sale of whiskey the
county will have to devise some plan to aid
her In providing for the annual expenses. In
any event the monopoly Of the business
should be broken up. The argument against
low license Is that the poor men do not keep
order In their houses. We are credibiy In
formed that the worst order in the city Is at
an nf ho har- oh
that the best order Is bar-room kept by q
man of few pretensions.

On last Saturday night the dedication oi
the Young Mems Christian Associntion hall
occurred. 1t was an interesting. enjoyable oc-
casion. The friends Of the Association were
invited TO be present. A refined audience
greeted President Cochrane on taking the
chair. After devotional exercises, the presi-
dent made few remarks and announced as
the speakers for the evening, DR.. w. M. Grier
and Prof. j. I. Mccain.
DIR. Grier made the dedicatory speech: In

that during all these years. week after week
they had regularly met, under SO many dis.
com forts and discouragements. But he now
congratulated them that for the first lime
they met in neat, beautiful hall. The Doc.

some excellent suggestions. or the latter he
expressed the hope that the place would new

meetings would be characterized with the
spirit OF devotion.
Prof Mccain was now introduced and made
an able address, taking for his subject Some
Truths for the Student" This address was
well prepared and contained many gems In
the way of elegant quotations cnlled from the
whole field OF literature The Professor
sweeped the whole horizon and ably sus-
aincd by quotaiio every proposition laid
down. We have heard the address spoken OF
as the best the Professor has ever made mere.
The house was now thrown open for busi-
ness. Tie chairman of the repair committee
made his report, showing that about S2l0 had
been expended in fitting up tho hall. These
expenditures consisted in an elegant new car
